I. 18/x2 + 6/x 12/x2 = 8/x2
18 + 6x - 12/ x2 =8/x2
6 + 6x = 8
6x = 2
X = 2/6 = 0.33
II. y3 + 9.68 + 5.64 = 16.95
y3 = 16.95 15.32
y3 = 1.63
y = 1.63
y ~ 1.18
x<y
38. (1)
I. 1225 x + 4900 = 0
35x + 70 = 0
x = - 70/35
x=-2
II. (81)1/4 y + (343)1/3 = 0

I. (2)5 + (11)3 / 6 = x3
32 + 1331 / 6 = x3
x3 = 1363/6 = 227.167
II. 4y3 = - (589 4) + 5y3
y3 = (589 4)

41. (5) 29, 37, 21, 43, 13, 53, 5
29 8 = 21,
21 8 = 13,
13 8 = 5
37 +8 = 45,
45 + 8 = 53
So wrong number in the series is 43.

10 x1 2 = 8
8 x2 3 = 13
13 x3 4 = 35
35 x4 5 = 135
135 x 5 6 = 669
669 x 6 7 = 4007
So wrong number in the series is 671

5 X (x/5) + 182 X 13 = 2402
x + 2366 = 2402
x = 36
x = Rs. 36
49. (1) Let three even numbers are x , (x + 2), (x + 4)
According to the question:
x (x + 2) (x + 4) = 4032
x (x + 4) = 252 Eq (I)
(x + 2) 252 = 4032 Eq (II)
(x + 2) = (4032/252) = 16
x = 16 -2 = 14
x = 14
So numbers are 14, 16 and 18.
Now five times of the second number will be = 16 x 5
= 80
50. (1) Sum of ages of 4 members of a family 5 yr ago =
94 yr
Their present age with daughter = 94 + 4 x 5 = 114 yr
Now, their present age with daughter in law = 92
yr
Difference between daughter and daughter in law
= 114 92 = 22 yr
51. (4) Total ball in the bag = 13 + 7 = 20
n(S) = 20C2 = (20!/2! 8!) = (20 x 19 x 18!)/ 2 x 18! =
190
and for same colour of ball
n(E1) = 13C2 = (13!/2! 11!) = (13 x 12 x 11!)/ 2 x 11! =
(13 x 12)/2 = 78
and n(E2) = 7C2 = (7!/2! 5!) = (7x 6 x 5!)/ 2 x 5! =
(7x6)/ 2 = 21
Required probability for same colour ball = P(E) =
[n(E1) + n(E2) ]/ n(S) = (78 + 21)/190
= 99/190
52. (2) Akash scored in subject A = 73 marks
Akash scored in subject B = 56% of 150 = 84
Akash scored in subject C = x marks
Maximum marks in all the three subject is = 150
Total marks = 150 x 3 = 450
Now according to the question:
Marks obtained in subject (A + B + C) = 54% of total
marks
73 + 84 + x = 54% of 450
x = 86, hence Akash scored 86 marks in subject C.
53. (4) Area of Square = 1444m2
Side of the square = 1444 = 38m
Now, according to the question,
Breadth of the rectangle = 38 x 1/4
Length of the rectangle = 38 x 3/4
Area of rectangle = Length x Breadth
= 38 x 1/4 X 38 x 3/4 = 1444 x (3/16) m2
Now, difference between the Area of Square and
rectangle
= 1444 - 1444 x (3/16)

59. (5) From sol. No. 56
Number of mobiles phones sold by company A in the
month of July = 4080
Number of mobiles phones sold by company A in the
month of December = 3150
: Required % = (4080/3150) x 100 = 129.53% ~ =
130%
60. (1) Number of mobiles phones sold in the month of
August = 45000 x (22/100) = 9900
Number of mobiles phones sold by company B in
August = (5/9) x 9900 = 5500

1.69)3 = Rs. 3.62 lakhs
62. (2) Required respective ratio = 2.79 : 9.45 = 31 : 105
63. (5) Required increase percentage = (9.45
8.42/8.42) x 100 = 12.23 ~ 12%
64. (4) Ds earning increased consistently from the year
2005 to the year 2010
65. (3) Required percentage = (1.44 + 7.84)/5.53 x 100 =
